Template:Uw-canvass

It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on a biased choice of users' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote. While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. Thank you.

Template documentation

This template should always be substituted, i.e. use {{subst:Uw-canvass}}. Any accidental transclusions will be automatically substituted by a bot.

Usage:

{{subst:uw-canvass}}

{{subst:uw-canvass|Article}} references a specific article

{{subst:uw-canvass|Article|Additional text}} adds text onto the end of the message

Please refer to the index of message templates before using any template on user talk pages to warn a user. Applying the best template available for your purpose may help reduce confusion from the message you are sending.

Please remember to substitute the template using {{subst:uw-canvass}} rather than {{uw-canvass}}.

This template uses a parser function. To give greater detail to your message, you may add the article and some additional text to the end of the template. If such article or additional text includes a URL or anything which includes an equal sign ("="), it may break the parser's function unless you prefix the article or the text with "1=".
